Prague in November

I have never decided so spontaneously on a trip before … But when our student council posted on facebook that they were organizing a trip to Prague, it was clear that we had to decide quickly. At lunch in the cafeteria, we quickly recruited a few more fellow travellers and then we had already submitted our application!
Good decision! In fact, I had not previously thought much about Prague as a tourist destination and went there without high expectations – so I could see the Czech capital with an open mind and returned completely thrilled. We had so much fun with our fellow students! Also, I was very happy with the timing of our trip: In November, there are not as many other tourists as in sunny months, but instead a lot of the tranquility that comes with the cold. A wonderful atmosphere!

Five recommendations for a trip to Prague:

♥ Don’t be afraid to walk a lot and wear matching shoes.
♥ Join a walking tour – so you hear a lot about the history of Prague and discover places that would have not visited otherwise.
♥ Eat Trdelník. And dumplings. And drink beer (yup, that’s coming from me who doesn’t really drink a lot of beer…).
♥ Go up to the Prague Castle in the dark and be rewarded with a wonderful view.
♥ If you want to see the Charles Bridge almost empty: get up very early and go there just after sunrise.
